Surfski Races in Scandinavia 2011

Check out some of the Surfski Races here in northern Scandinavia… I think there are more races planned, and the list will most probably grow, but this is what it looks like right now. Will update the list asap.

25-29 July – Arctic Sea Kayak Race (ASKR) 2011ASKR is the annual target for seakayakers from the entire world. The ASKR base is located to the old fishing station named Skipnes located on the north-west shore of the Lofoten / Vesteraalen region of Northern Norway. The ASKR webpage has been hacked, but hopefully it will be up’n’running soon again.

27-28 August – Seamasters & Swedish Surfski ChampionshipsSeamasters will take place in Arkösund/Oxelösund on the Swedish east coast, and is a 25 km long Ocean race open for Surf ski, Outrigger, Stand Up and Sea kayak paddlers. The race is held for the fifth time and is the first surf ski race in north Europe, now drawing paddlers from the Nordic countries as well as Europe, South Africa and America.

Globalsurfski.com started in 2008 by Peter Ekström. His efforts to the development of surfski paddling in Sweden has been very important. In 2012 he asked me if I was interested in continuing the work with the blog. I accepted and will continue to write about surfski paddling from a personal, national and international perspective. //Peter Svensson
